hello,

I'm new to Second Life. I read about linked messages between primitives of the same object. For example between the root primitive and the others.

I would like to know if it is possible to have messaging between objects, and how. If not, how can I coordinate objects behavior ?

thanks!

Take some time to check out some scripts and stuff, see how they work.

What you're talking about is llListen, with the Listen event, in conjunction with llSay, llShout, llWhisper, or llRegionSay.

Basically, you have one object say something, and the other listen. And yes, it's possible for it to both say things and listen.

By the way, the Scripting Tips forum is a better place for such questions, and has tons of awesome scripters to help you out ^_^

Also, the LSL Scripting Wiki is a wonderful tool. I suggest the resident-created one, not the LL provided one, simply because it tends to have more examples, information, and up-to-date stuff.

Not recommended. llEmail() and llGetNextEmail are iffy at est, even when object to object in the same, sim, and always cause a delay.

Other methods highly recommended against using email.
